A woman will appear in court next week after she was accused of stealing a firefighter's wallet while he was out battling a fire at a local business last week.

Earlier this month, the woman, now identified as Aleesha Mceachern, 32, got off a bus with two children and wandered into Revere's central fire station, police said. She is accused of taking a wallet that was left near a window to dry.

"You assume people coming in, we feel we could trust them, but society is a little different these days, I guess," Chief Eugene Doherty said.

Firefighters had just battled a two-alarm blaze at the Shipwreck Lounge on Revere Beach. They were sent to another call, and Firefighter Jamie Nadworny left his wallet behind to dry.

"It was a hot day, so everyone's gear was pretty wet," he said. "I was surprised, to be honest with you. I never though anyone would do something like that. I thought it was me at first -- maybe I just misplaced it."

Police later tracked the firefighter's credit cards to several nearby stores.

Revere police said as a result of numerous tips from the public, the department was able to conduct an investigation and get a complaint against Mceachern.

Surveillance video shows Mceachern walking out of Target, where she bought several things, including an Xbox, police said.

Mceachern is behind bars on other charges. In this case, she faces charges of larceny, identity and credit card fraud when she is arraigned on Monday.
